Splints for use in providing support, protection and alignment to fractured bones, compression and support to sprained joints and strained muscles
Splints are hard wraps used to support and protect injured bones, provide compression to control swelling and comfort to sprained joints, help position joints to reduce the stress associated with musculoskeletal conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome and Guyon’s canal syndrome, and support to other tissues. Because of their supporting, alignment ensuring, and compression characteristics splints help prevent against further damage and irritation to the injured or inflamed tissues, help control pain and swelling, and enable movements of joints above and below the fracture or sprained sites so that they do not deteriorate due to the effects of immobilization.
There are specific tools and accessories that are important and even required in the application of a properly fitting and conforming splint.
